Quitting the cigs

[Dodo]

LOL! : D

I'm on day 6 now...
Doing great.

I really think the most difficult part is the first 3 days.
If you make it over 3 days, your fine.

Well... not fine, but it becomes a lot more easier, just make sure you don't touch a single cigarette for a LONG time.

Congratulations on quitting! Hope you do manage to succeed.

You don't have the Nicotine in your system after 3 Days, that's why it's easier. After 3 days your body doesn't really care.

Oh it cares.

It cares greatly.

I just found this;

CHANGES YOUR BODY GOES THROUGH

WHEN YOU QUIT SMOKING


Within 20 minutes of last cigarette:
Blood pressure drops to normal
Pulse drops to normal rate
Body temperature of hands and feet increase to normal

Within 8 hours:
Carbon dioxide level in blood drops to normal
Oxygen level in blood increases to normal

Within 24 hours:
Chance of heart attack decreases

Within 48 hours:
Nerve endings start to regrow
Ability to smell and taste enhances

Within 48 - 72 hours:
Nicotine leaves the body

Within 72 hours:
Bronchial tubes relax, making breathing easier
Lung capacity increases

Within 2 weeks to 3 months:
Circulation improves
Walking becomes easier
Lung function increases up to 30%

Within 1 to 9 months:
Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue and shortness of breath decrease.
Cilia regrow in lungs, increasing ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs and reduce infection .
Body's overall energy level increases

Within 5 years:
Lung cancer death rate for average smoker (one pack a day) decreases from 137 per 100,000 people to 72 per 100,000 (after 10 years, rate drops to 12 deaths per 100,000 - or almost the rate of a non-smoker).

Within 10 years:
Pre-cancerous cells are replaced
Other cancers, such as those of the mouth, larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney and
pancreas decrease (there are 30 chemicals in tobacco smoke that cause cancer)

10 years to replace ****ed up cells? Damn.

 

[Dodo]

I think it takes 7 years to replace your lungs, probably 10 years in total for your whole body.
